Fair enough too, Chongo! I heartily concur.

"Donnybrook" sounds quite Irish (which of course it is - although there are many places named Donnybrook in the rest of the world, including three in Oz) and "brouhaha" sounds quite English and posh, although it's apparently of French origin! "Brawl" sounds very lower-class, as does "fight", so you are probably right, you know.

Cheers
